Chapter 117: The first day of opening

Gu Xiaoyou actively promoted it. After finishing his words, the onlookers commented: "I really wish I had heard of toilet paper and seen others using it."

"Me too, but I've never bought one myself."

"I know that Youlian Paper Shop in Qingcheng County is opened by a miracle doctor named Gu."

"Toilet paper is softer than straw paper. I saw it when I bought isatis root."

Soon someone who was very curious asked: "I don't know if there are any discounts. If it's cheap, I will buy it and try it."

Gu Xiaoyou had already thought about his words and said loudly: "Toilet paper originally cost ten cents and fifty sheets. Now I can buy fifty sheets for eight cents. In addition, the original price of rice paper was one penny per sheet, and now it costs one penny for two sheets. It is only open for business."

The price is this for the first three days, and it will return to the original price after three days. Customers who want to buy it, don’t miss it if you pass by!”

Gu Xiaoyou worked hard to promote it, even shouting out the words for modern shopping mall promotions.

The onlookers were really moved and immediately gathered around.

"Bring me some toilet paper and ten cents worth of rice paper."

"And me, I want two pieces of toilet paper."

"I want thirty cents worth of rice paper. My son has plenty of space for reading paper."

Mrs. Zhou quickly prepared, collecting the money and checking the papers at the same time.

Gu Xiaoyou walked over to help: "Please line up and don't be anxious."

The two people worked for a while before dividing the paper among the customers.

The guests did not leave in a hurry after getting the paper, but gathered together and chatted in twos and threes.

"This paper is so soft."

"The rice paper is also the smoothest I have ever seen."

"It's such good paper, I have to notify my relatives to buy it."

"Me too, I'll go home to get some money and buy more."

The customers talked and discussed with each other before leaving. Gu Xiaoyou vaguely heard some conversations and said to Mr. Zhou: "We may have some more customers."

"Will it?" Zhou looked at the lot of toilet paper and rice paper left, feeling unsure.

"Just wait." Gu Xiaoyou said confidently.

Sure enough, not long after, I saw a group of people coming from a distance.

Gu Xiaoyou felt happy and raised her eyebrows at Mrs. Zhou: "You see what I said is right."

Mrs. Zhou looked at it with wide eyes and said happily: "We are the only shop on this street. They must be here for us."

"Yes, get ready." Gu Xiaoyou said, and immediately summoned the servants who were cleaning the store: "Forget about hygiene for now, come and help."

The servant immediately put down what he was doing, ran to Gu Xiaoyou, and asked respectfully: "What do you need me to do? Please tell me as soon as possible."

"You are responsible for checking the paper. Be careful. You would rather give more than less. Sister Zhou, you will be responsible for collecting the money. I will be responsible for replenishing the goods at any time." Gu Xiaoyou quickly assigned tasks to them, and the three of them set out

Welcoming a new batch of guests with an upright attitude.

"Is this the Youlian Paper Shop that sells toilet paper?"

“Rice paper is very cheap here, right?”

"That's right, this is it. Now it's a guest event..." Gu Xiaoyou repeated what he said in the morning, while not forgetting to organize the order: "Guests who want to buy paper, please line up and maintain order."

Everyone who came here immediately lined up and reported the paper they wanted to buy and the quantity.

Everyone who bought the paper left with a satisfied smile, and those in line behind looked at it with envy, especially looking forward to their turn.

Zhou and her servants were responsible for collecting the money and checking the paper. Gu Xiaoyou ran back and forth twice to replenish the goods.

Two hours later, these customers were finally sent away, and there was not much rice paper and toilet paper left in the store.

The three of them were too tired to lift their shoulders. Zhou held the money box and gestured to Gu Xiaoyou.

Gu Xiaoyou looked over and looked at the money box filled with coins. She looked at each other and smiled happily at the same time.

A few customers came sporadically in the afternoon. Although the situation was not as popular as in the morning, Gu Xiaoyou was very satisfied with today's business.

She glanced at the setting sun on the horizon and said to Mr. Zhou, "We'll just stop here today. No one will come back."

"Okay, I'll tidy up and lock the door." Mrs. Zhou said.

"Come on, slave, let the two masters rest." The servant said with a wink, and quickly put the table at the door into the room.

"It's okay, we still have strength."

Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou also went over to help, but the servants couldn't stop them, so they had to speed up their movements.

In less than a cup of tea, the shop was tidied up.

With Gu Xiaoyou holding the money box, Zhou locked the door of the shop and left the shop with her servants.

Returning home quickly in a carriage, Gu Xiaoyou pulled Mr. Zhou into the bedroom and poured all the money in the money box onto the table.

There was a crashing sound, and a large amount of money was sprinkled on the table.

A few coins rolled to the ground, and Zhixia who was standing by immediately leaned over to pick them up.

Gu Xiaoyou divided the money into three piles and said with a smile: "The three of us will check the money, one pile each, so we can check it quickly."

"Okay." Zhixia and Zhou responded and joined the team counting the money.

"One, two...three thousand and one." Zhou quickly checked: "My pile is three thousand and one."

Zhixia counted them carefully twice and said respectfully: "This pile of slaves is one thousand five hundred coins."

During this period, Gu Xiaoyou also counted the money: "Mine is 2,700 yuan, I'll add it."

Gu Xiaoyou took out a pen and paper and used Arabic numerals and formulas to calculate on the rice paper. Zhixia's eyes widened in curiosity. Although she felt strange, she wisely closed her mouth.

Zhou on the side is used to it. She has learned a little from Gu Xiaoyou. Although she still can't do calculations, she is no longer as strange as before.

Gu Xiaoyou quickly calculated and said happily: "Seven thousand two hundred and one cents."

"I didn't expect that there were so few people on the street, but we could sell so many." Zhou's eyes lit up, and the sales were twice as much as she expected.

Gu Xiaoyou shook his head: "It's still young. If you make a name for yourself, people will come to buy it no matter how far away you are."

"You're right." Ms. Zhou said in agreement. Zhixia listened with bright eyes. It was her first time to hear about business and she found it very interesting.

While Gu Xiaoyou and Mr. Zhou were stringing money together, he said, "Keep part of this money as change, and go to the bank to deposit the rest."

"Okay, it's the bank in the capital. I don't know where it is." Zhou said hesitantly.

"I know this. If Miss Gu can trust me, I will leave the money saving to you." Zhixia said enthusiastically.

"Okay, you can save these five thousand coins, and the remaining two hundred coins will be used for running errands for you." Gu Xiaoyou said generously.

"Thank you, Miss Gu." Zhixia was very happy. She didn't expect Miss Gu to be so generous.
